It's all about preference. That said, here's what I would recommend...

1. Battery: Vision Spinner or eGo C-Twist
2. Atty: 510 cartomizer - single coil, dual pre-punched holes, flange.
3. 3.5ml DCT tanks (SmokTech or Boge F16)
4. juice from MtBakerVapor.com

Something tells me he will enjoy his halo sample pack much mOre than mt baker. ....

What's a good one you recommend?10 dollar max tho haha
Sorry, I missed this one. Not sure what's available at a $10 price point, honestly. There's a SoCal Vapers area here somewhere, though. I know we're having a meetup in OC on May 3rd. If you make that one, or we can both make another one, I'll just hook you up with a tank and carto for you to check out.

The shop we're planning on meeting at on May 3rd has some really, really nice tanks for $15. Honestly, I think that's a steal for the quality of these things. Show up and I'll get you one.

I was in your same place last week....finally decided to go with the special on MVS and got the two vision spinners in the mail today. I can't wait to try them. I started with the Halo G6 and got the mini tanks and must say that they are totally awesome, but when I stepped up I wanted something that wasn't proprietary. I have stuff coming in from 4 different companies this week and all of it will work with the spinners, not so with the Triton. Just something to think about. I will continue to use the G6's for car and going out because I love them but you can't go wrong with the spinners in my opinion. The Halo liquids are awesome btw....I'm vaping Tribeca and Shamrock and love them both. Their liquids are quality, no doubt. Good luck whatever you decide!!

It's interesting how many new users wind up hating their first system. That won't happen with Halo Triton. You will probably upgrade eventually to either a mechanical or a variable voltage device eventually. Meanwhile you get a decent vape. All the components, including good juice, are well matched.

If you're a gear head and like to tinker, the Halo system will have less appeal.

Re threads, there are about a bajillion 808 and 901 cartos and atomizers out there.

I've just recently got a manual (all they have) Triton battery and clearomizer setup. I'm experimenting with this as a possible replacement for my automatic ECHO gear, which is very limited in clearomizers or cartomizers that work well with all VG juices. So far the transition from automatic to manual hasn't been too bad, but I still prefer how the excellent automatic ECHO batteries operate by comparison. I've had no leak issues with the Triton clearomizers, and these so far seem to deliver good vapor production and flavor. For me, the jury is still out on how well these will hold up to all VG juices. So far, so good, but I've only been using them for about 3 days - which is actually better than I'd usually get with ECHO clearomizers (which are usually only good for about 2 days).

There is not as much out there for VGO threaded (EGO outer thread, 808 inner thread) batteries like the Halo Tritons or the Volt X2s (which are available in sealed automatics, but are longer than Triton batteries by quite a bit). That is certainly worth considering when comparing all these devices, but what is available for the Triton, X2 and similarly threaded batteries seems to be pretty good stuff. Overall battery performance appears to be very good compared to EGO batteries, but may not be significant enough to warrant going with those batteries instead of an EGO. There are some automatic EGOs, but the 808 threaded automatic ECHO is a better performer in my opinion.

If you can easily tolerate high PG juices, then almost all of this stuff will work well enough for you. I used to have no problem with PG, but have since developed some issues with it. Good tasting and performing high VG juices are hard to come by, and finding cartomizers or clearomizers that can run such juices without crapping out early can be even more of a problem. It has actually been something of a real hassle for me. One that has been going on for months. For me, the Tritons and their clearomizer. appear to be a possible good answer for me. Soon I'll be trying out some of Volt's X2 - Mini T3 clearomizers (which are bottom coil as opposed to the top coil Tritons). They have some good reviews, and are nice, compact devices, but will provide a different vaping experience compared to the large Triton clearomizers. I look forward to trying them out. And I'm glad to have such good options in gear for a top performing battery available in sizes as small as 400mah (55mm).

I have some halo's, joyetech's and they perform as some other ego clones, the "triton tanks" are just t2's with 808 threads, for less money you can get a full featured device like a vamo ($30) or innokin svd ($37), you can use them in short mode with 18350's or large 18650 mode. the batteries are more powerful, longer lasting and can be replaced for $5.

halo has some good liquid though. just my :2c:

The Innokin iTaste SVD is more like $100, not including the replaceable rechargeable batteries. The Vamo V3 is less at around $56 or so, not including batteries. Both are pretty cool. They can be configured short or long, and both have variable voltage and wattage, and are 510 thread compatible. I believe the SVD is even compatible with a wider range of clearomizers, etc. than the Vamo. Both are very fat compared to smaller diameter batteries than a Halo Triton, SI Volt X2 or EGO, and still generally longer, depending on what battery size you use. The Halo 400mah and 650mah batteries are particularly short compared to an SVD or Vamo. The SVD and Vamo are not for beginners and are not even for all intermediate or advanced users. They have their place, and are certainly worth looking into, but are not really in the same sort of device category as a Triton or EGO. The SVD and Vamo also have manual operation buttons, which is understandable for devices of their type, so if you want an automatic (which I personally prefer) they wouldn't be a good choice.

My Triton setup is holding up fine, and doing well for what it is. I'm still not too hot about these not being available in an automatic version. I really wish they were, because then the Triton would be nearly perfect for me. The Triton clearomizer tanks are pretty good compared to what I tried for the automatic ECHO. There are a few automatic EGOs out there, but the batteries don't seem to be as good overall. The automatic EGOs also don't normally or readily appear to be available in the shorter (650mah or less) battery length sizes. 900mah is about the shortest I've found, and they are still uncommon. The automatic VGO (and VGO2) doesn't seem to be available anywhere in the U.S. at all. It is available overseas in 650mah. I wouldn't mind checking out some automatic VGO batteries, but I wouldn't know where to reliably order them from overseas at a good price and shipping fee.

Watersplash, the prices you are quoting for an SVD or a Vamo seem a bit low compared to what I've seen online. Where are you seeing those devices at those prices? I'm sure some interested forum members would like to know. At $30-$37, even I would almost be tempted to try one out, just for the heck of it.
